He Reviews His Connection with the Park
Street Church--A Successful Ministry.
From Sundays Sermon.
In the course of it's history, Park street Church
has passed through severe periods of trial But,
as the bush which Moses saw burning, it has not
been consumed. In the early years of its exist
ence poverty oppressed it deeply, and public OPP
prohium opposed its progress. But the men of
that early day did not hesitate to put mortgages
on their own private residences in order to raise
money to continue their enterprise of faith on
this historic corner. And because they did this
to honor God and his Son, Jesus Christ, God
honored them and mas honored their enterprise
ever since. He has honored it by making these
sacred Enclosures the cradle from which more
missionary societies and missionaries have gone
forth than from any other church in the region.
1t is an inheritance of inestimabe blessing that
we know OF so many bands and circles. and so
cieties having had their first gatherings for or
eanization within these venerable walls: and
many missionaries have here received their in
structions at going forth to give the gospel to
ssthe uttermost parts of the earth So that the
bricks ''cry out of the wall and the beam out of
the timber" that this old church is missionary
church, and so an honored church.
AS already remarked, it has experienced
times of trial. More than once circumstances
have c0nspired to depete its treasury and the
attendance upon ordinances here More than

In the same decade the population of
the Dominion increased 1858, 186, of
which 321, 1927 were emigrants from the
United Kingdom and it's colonies. The
Toronto Mail seriously questions the
latter figures, for if the immigration
were 321, 1927 there would remain only
367, 1927 as natural increase of popula-
ton, which is absolutely low for eli
mate so healthy and people SO robust
as the Canadian. But of the decrease
in the number of resident foreigners
there is no doubt, nor is there much
that they have crossed the line and be-
come residents of the Republic. The
lesson of the figures is that the Do
minion is growing more and more dis
tinctly British, while the United States
is growing less and less distinctly Amer
lean, in population. And this major
lesson suggests several minor ones to
which attention will have to be given
in due season.
